Daylight Saving Time: Clocks “fall back” this weekend

On Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 a.m. local time, clocks “fall back” one hour as Daylight Saving Time ends.

Quick to-do list

  • Manually set: Microwaves, ovens, car dashboards, analog clocks, and wall clocks.

  • Auto-update: Most smartphones, computers, and smartwatches adjust on their own (confirm “Set automatically” is turned on).

  • Check safety gear: Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and replace batteries if needed.

  • Review schedules: Double-check calendar reminders, medication times, and any early-morning appointments for Monday.

  • Outdoor timers: Adjust sprinklers, lights, and thermostats that don’t auto-sync.

Health & safety tips

  • Aim for a normal bedtime; the time shift can still disrupt sleep.

  • If you drive early in the morning or at dusk, expect changing light conditions and more glare—use extra caution.

  • As evenings get darker, consider reflective gear for walking pets or after-work runs.
